My opinions about being an only child
Hot 5 |
During the past few years, the discussion about being an only child was becoming more more popular in modern society.
Some people hold a view that in modern society there is no alternative but to have the only child. For one thing, under the economic pressures many families can't afford to bring up more than one child. For another thing, it's very hard to handle the relationships between the children, and it will be more beneficial to the child's growth if parents' attention only focuses on a child.
Nevertheless, from another perspective, the social situation that a family have only one child gives raise to various problems. The common problems of those children are self-interest, self-concern and disrespectful.
From the point of my view, we are supposed to hold a rational attitude towards the issue, since there are both advantages and disadvantages of being an only child.

- It's depends the parents' thoughts,if they can afford and want to raise another child ,it's a good thing .if the pressure of daily life is too heavy to bring up more than one child,raising one child is rational and they can offer a better educational environment.

- Yeah, some problems exsit for those one-child families. But I think they are more related to the family education. Of course, spoiling is not a good way to grow a child. However, most children from one-child families are growing in that atmosphere, resulting in their selfish, self-centered or impolite behaviors. Thus, I think education shouldn't be a thing related to richness or poverty, because children should be educated with heart not with wealth. So it doesn't matter whether to have one child or more, what really matters is how parents educate them.

- I have a sister, so I know the fun in two-child family. They can value each other during their live. But some parents think they can devote all of their efforts to one child. Every point will be fine.

- I do not like my parents to give birth to a new child. It is somehow troublesome to share my things to a person I neither know nor like.

- I couldn't agree more. Parents are the best teachers in children's early life, and no matter one or two children the most important thing parents should do is to give the children best education.

- Maybe most of the only children are unwilling to have another sister or brother just as you said the second child will share something with you, such as the love from parents.
